CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present invention claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Japanese Application No. 2014-103951, filed on May 20, 2014, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package, a printed circuit board substrate and a semiconductor device, and more particularly relates to a semiconductor package with a structure where balls are removed or made non-connective for substrate wiring in a grid array package such as BGA (Ball Grid Array)/LGA (Land Grid Array) or the like, a printed circuit board substrate on which the semiconductor package is mounted, and a semiconductor device including the printed circuit board substrate and the semiconductor package mounted on the printed circuit board substrate.

BACKGROUND

As a package structure facilitating miniaturization, high functionality and high performance of semiconductor integrated circuit chips, there has been proposed a grid array package such as WL-CSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) or BGA/LGA.

Typically, when a package such as WL-CSP/BGA/LGA or the like is mounted on a printed circuit board (hereinafter, referred to as a “PCB substrate”), in order to pass wirings between lands corresponding to balls on the PCB substrate, wiring pitches get narrow and the cost of the PCB substrate increases.

In particular, in the case of WL-CSP, the relationship between a chip size and a ball size has an opposite relationship. That is, when the chip size is reduced, the ball pitch is narrowed, which results in increase in the PCB substrate cost. Conversely, when the ball pitch is widened, the chip size is increased, which results in increase in the chip cost.

FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view taken along line I-I in FIG. 1, showing an example of solder bumps BMP formed of LGA.

The WL-CSP type semiconductor package 100A will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The WL-CSP type semiconductor package 100A is a semiconductor package 100A in which terminals and wirings (distinguished from LSI wirings and hereinafter, referred to as a “rewiring layer MRD”) are formed before individual LSIs 10 are cut out from a silicon wafer with the LSIs 10 mounted thereon and, thereafter, on which the LSIs 10 cut out from the wafer are mounted.

The main reason for using the WL-CSP type semiconductor package is the minimization of the external size of the LSIs 10 (including thinness, lightness, a degree of freedom of terminal arrangement of the LSIs 10, and so on) and particularly is the point that the external size of the LSIs 10 becomes the external size of the semiconductor package 100A.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the semiconductor package 100A is substantially rectangular when viewed from top and has a plurality of solder bumps BMP provided as external terminals at predetermined intervals.

(Reduction of Chip Size)

FIG. 27A is a planar pattern configuration view of the semiconductor package 100A according to a comparative example, showing BGA in which 5×5 solder bumps BMP each having the diameter D of 0.25L are arranged at a 2D (=0.5L) pitch. FIG. 27B is a planar pattern configuration view showing a land LND forming surface of the PCB substrate 200A on which the semiconductor package 100A shown in FIG. 27A is mounted. When the semiconductor package 100A is a wafer level chip size package, the chip size of the semiconductor integrated circuit 10 is substantially the same as the size of the semiconductor package 100A. Therefore, the chip size of the semiconductor integrated circuit 10 accommodated in the semiconductor package 100A according to the comparative example is equal to 2.5L×2.5L.

FIG. 28 is a planar pattern configuration view showing a land LND forming surface of the PCB substrate 200 on which the semiconductor package 100 according to an embodiment is mounted, with lands LND each having the diameter D of 0.2L arranged at a 2D (=0.4L) pitch on the land LND forming surface. The chip size of the semiconductor integrated circuit 10 accommodated in the semiconductor package 100 disposed on the PCB substrate 200 shown in FIG. 28 is equal to 2.0L×2.4L.

When the pitch of the solder bumps BMP each having a diameter D of 0.25L, is 0.5L, since 22 pins are required, the chip size becomes at least 2.5L×2.5L and the wiring pitch may be 0.25L singly. On the other hand, when the pitch of solder bumps BMP each having the diameter D of 0.2L, is 0.4L, the chip size can be reduced and the wiring pitch can meet the conditions of 0.25L per pitch, as shown in FIG. 28. Therefore, the chip area can be reduced without having an effect on the PCB substrate cost. The minimum chip size at this time is 2.0L×2.4L which is reduced to about 23% .

FIG. 29 is a planar pattern configuration view showing a land LND forming surface of the PCB substrate 200A on which the semiconductor package 100A according to a comparative example is mounted, with lands LND each having the diameter D of 0.2L arranged at a 2D (=0.4L) pitch on the land LND forming surface.

FIG. 30 is a planar pattern configuration view showing a land LND forming surface of the PCB substrate 200 on which the semiconductor package 100 according to an embodiment is mounted, with lands LND each having the diameter D of 0.15L arranged at a 0.3L pitch on the land LND forming surface. The chip size of the semiconductor integrated circuit 10 accommodated in the semiconductor package 100 disposed on the PCB substrate 200 shown in FIG. 30 is equal to 1.5L×1.8L.

When the pitch of the solder bumps BMP each having a diameter D of 0.2L, is 0.4L, since 22 pins are required, the chip size becomes at least 2.0L×2.0L and the wiring pitch may be 0.2L per pitch. On the other hand, when the pitch of the solder bumps BMP each having the diameter D of 0.15L, is 0.3L, the chip size can be reduced and the wiring pitch can meet the conditions of a 0.2L per pitch, as shown in FIG. 30. Therefore, the chip area can be reduced without having an effect on PCB substrate cost. The minimum chip size at this time is 1.5L×1.8L and this reduces the size to about 32%.

In the semiconductor package 100 according to the embodiment, it is possible to alleviate the ball arrangement pitch rule and reduce the chip size of the semiconductor integrated circuit 10. That is, the ball arrangement pitch rule may be alleviated from 0.5L to 0.4L (L is an arbitrary constant). Alternatively, the ball arrangement pitch rule may be alleviated from 0.4L to 0.3L (L is an arbitrary constant).

On the other hand, the PCB substrate 200 on which the semiconductor package according to the embodiment can be easily mounted without requiring miniaturization of wiring width on the PCB substrate.

In addition, since the chip size of the semiconductor integrated circuit can be reduced, the semiconductor package can be downsized.

In the semiconductor package according to the embodiment, the PCB substrate on which the semiconductor package is mounted, and the semiconductor device including the PCB substrate and the semiconductor package mounted on the PCB substrate, when WL-CSP/BGA/LGA is mounted on the PCB substrate, balls corresponding to lands acting as necks to pass wirings on the PCB substrate are removed or made in non-contact (NC).

With the semiconductor package according to the embodiment, the land portion corresponding to the removed balls can be used as wirings on the PCB substrate, thereby narrowing a ball pitch and a land pitch corresponding to the balls. As a result, the chip size can be reduced. In addition, the land portion corresponding to the removed balls can also be removed, in which case the removed corresponding portion can be used as a space for wirings on the PCB substrate.

With the semiconductor package according to the embodiment, the land portion corresponding to the non-contacted balls can be used as wirings on the PCB substrate, thereby narrowing a ball pitch and a land pitch corresponding to the balls. As a result, the chip size can be reduced.

In addition, as for the wiring pitch, it is possible to secure a space of the same level as conventional, thereby preventing increase in PCB substrate cost, which can result in reduction in the entire system cost.
